Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Why should one consider a G 310 GS against a much cheaper and more powerful KTM 390 Duke which is already proven?
  • I own a 310 GS and I would not give KTM 390 even a thought! 1. The comfort of riding the 310GS is incomparable. 2. It looks far more premium than the 390. Even if you hide the logo and put both bikes side by side you will notice the difference. 3. It gives me a rather 'bold and confidant' personality rather than the 'always ready to race' stigma attached to the KTM. 4. Oh I'm an engineer and understand speed, power, torque, time, space and gravity very well, but please don't start off with numbers again...
  • Good question but only if seen thru the lens of price and power. The baby GS offer much more in terms of its offroading ability. Were the KTM 390 available in an ADV avatar, the baby GS would have stood no chance.
  • When I buying 310gs, there was no other adventure tourer bikes on that price range except RE Himalayan & Hero Xpulse. I owned a RE motorcycle before, so I was not ready to buy an RE motor cycle again. Xpulse was too small to long rides. If my purchase was in nowadays I will definitely go for KTM 390 Adventure

Q. What is the difference between BMW G310 R and BMW G310 GS?
  • Both BMW G 310 R and G 310 GS are good bikes, however, selecting between the two would depend on your preference of the segment. If you are looking for a powerful and premium street naked bike that is absolutely a hoot to ride thanks to its great handling dynamics and offers decently punchy motor and incredible ride quality. However, it lags behind its competition when it comes to features, and the vibes really hold it back from being ridden at speeds that the engine can easily do. On the other hand, the G 310 GS offers comfortable upright ergos for touring, lighter weight, and would be a brilliant option if you are looking for a bike with off-roading capabilities. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. I am looking for a bike which is greate off road focused so that i can go in the mountains, I am confused between BMW G310GS and Himalayan, but the reliability issues are more with the Himalayan what should i do?
  • Comparatively in off-roading there are chances for damaging your bike. in which spare parts are cheaper in himalayan. for GS its going to dig your pocket for parts. but you can god dam relay on it.
  • Completely agree Himalayan is the bike to go for now own it for 2+ years but after 16 bikes I have found I feel.this is been the best for everything you need. Fantastic piece of work.
